I was thinking about using panty hoses, yes. I've got so many lying around for no reason that I might as well use them. A lot of them look very shabby and aren't nice enough to wear any more but I kept them, just in case.

Oh I happen to have one of those! Never knew what to call it (not even in Dutch). How would you use a slotted spoon for FSG?

I just made my first batch and it's cooling down. It seemed rather runny so I hope it thickens as it gets cooler.

Useful advice for the rest: make sure your bag with flaxseeds does not tip over. I just bought it and I have nothing left as it was strewn over the floor. Cleaning that up took me longer than making the actual FSG.

What about stprage containers w the finished flaxseed gel/additives (lavendar, jojoba, exc.)? I thought i saw a thread saying not to reuse the container u stored flaxseed gel in, and to buy new containers for new batches each time? Why is that? Is that true?
